Review: Hounds of Love dir. Ben Young

Perth-born director Ben Young introduces a touch of evil into suburban Australia in his debut feature Hounds of Love. Set in suburban Perth circa the mid 1980s, Hounds of Love depicts the horrifying events that the teenage Vicki Maloney (Ashleigh Cummings) suffers after being abducted by an incredibly disturbed serial killer couple (Emma Booth and Stephen Curry). Billed as a horror-thriller, Hounds of Love is possibly one of the most harrowing … Continue reading Review: Hounds of Love dir. Ben Young

Review: Main² by Teater Ekamatra (Pesta Raya 2017)

When one thinks of Hari Raya, one thinks of tasty ketupats, pasar malams and LED lights outside houses of those celebrating this joyous occasion. It’s almost impossible to link it to issues such as drugs, incest, rape and domestic violence. But for Aidli ‘Alin’ Mosbit, no issue is too dark to bare on stage in Main².   Commissioned for the inaugural Pesta Raya back in 2002, Aidli ‘Alin’ … Continue reading Review: Main² by Teater Ekamatra (Pesta Raya 2017)

Review: Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow 2017

It never ceases to amaze us how time and time again, Australia is able to produce a seemingly endless supply of good comedians each year when the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) Roadshow rolls around. Perhaps it has something to do with that cheeky Aussie spirit, where anything goes and no subject goes unturned without being a potential punchline. That spirit, accompanied by a general … Continue reading Review: Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow 2017

Review: Scribe dir. Thomas Kruithof

There’s always a place in cinema for a spy thriller. But French director Thomas Kruithof’s debut feature is no Jason Bourne film. At its forefront is the middle aged Duval (Francois Cluzet), a mousy ex-office worker on a downward spiral, unemployed and alcoholic. Things seem to take a turn for the better when he’s referred to the shady Clement (Denis Podalydes), and tasked to transcribe … Continue reading Review: Scribe dir. Thomas Kruithof
